I came into the living room to find Ringo sitting on the couch reading a news paper and none of the other lads in there with him.
I looked around the room and I sat beside him.
"Where have the lads gone?" Ringo licked his thumb and flipped to the next page.
"I think Paul and John took George out to get stuff for the wedding."
I nodded my head. "Well, thats good because I needed to talk to you about something without the lads being here anyway."
Ringo folded up the news paper and laid it on the coffee table beside him.
"What about love?"
"I just wanted to thank you for what you did last week when me and George had our fight."
Ringo gave me a light smile.
"Its nothing, love. I just can't stand to see you two argue. You love each other too much."
I smiled and gave him a hug. "I think it was more than that Ringo."
He shuffled uncomfortably.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I think you did it for several reasons besides that one. Didn't you?"
Ringo sighed deeply. "Yeah, yeah I did."
"Well, I already know what they are,but I want to hear it from you. So please tell me."
Ringo's blue eyes sparkled and his puckery lips showed sadness.
"Well, I don't really know what came over me. I just couldnt stand to see George basically ruin yours and his perfect relationship. Because if that would have happened I would have been the first one you come running to. Then George would have gotten furious, and it could have split up the whole group. I've been through stuff. I know one little argument can ruin something great. I just couldn't let it happen to you."
Ringo spoke so poetically.
And it made me realize that this is who Ringo was.
"Thank you Rings. I never actually even thought about all of that. I am very glad you stopped him, if you wouldn't have I might just be on a plane back to America right about now."
Ringo's blue eyes widened.
"You really would have moved away, if you and George had split up?"
I nodded. "Ringo I wouldn't have been able to stay here after that kind of heartbreak."
"Well, now I'm really glad that I saved you two."
I chuckled lightly. There was a moment of silence as we both drifted off.
"Ringo, do you still have feelings for me?"
Ringo cleared his throat and twiddled his thumbs.
"Now why would you think that?"
I pressed my lips together. I never wanted to bring this up but I couldn't stop thinking about what he had said after I stormed out of the room.
"I heard what you said to George after I left the room that day."
Ringo let out a shaky sigh. "You did?"
I swallowed hard.
"Why did you tell George that? Why did you tell him that you should have taken me away from him when you had the chance?"
Ringo shifted anxiously.
"I was afraid. I was afraid that he might hurt you again. I regret it now that I said it. I mean look at you two. You're gonna be married here in a few months. But seeing George reacting the way he did with you, it just made me furious. I knew it wasn't right. I never thought he would ever treat you like that."
Ringo gave me a half smile trying to hide the tears.
"Ringo-"
"No, Claire don't, I do still love you dearly. But you're with George. I have never seen two people who love each other so much. If he was to loose you, he wouldn't be able to live. And I know you wouldn't be able to him."
My eyes stung with happy tears.
"Thank you Rings, I love you."
He smiled and embraced me.
"I know you do."
Ringo was so kind hearted. He loved me so much that he saved me and George's relationship even when he still wanted me to be his.
I dont know a person on earth who would do something like that for me.
This whole conversation shows every part of what Ringo was.
This was truly Ringo.
